Steel Circles Mismatched Earrings

These striking steel mismatched earrings are part of a new collection called H₅O (in honour of the 50th birthday of my friend Helen).

The handmade ear wires are steel and they feature a 20mm steel circle dangling from them.  These architectural pieces are great lightweight earrings that are easy to wear all day.

Steel is such a remarkable material to use for jewellery – it bypasses the ‘last thing to put on and first thing to take off’ rule as it is not easily affected by the chemicals of day to day life.  You can wear it to play sports and then jump in the shwer and your daily lotions and potions won’t affect it’s subtle silver/grey tones.

Pair this with one of the new H₅O pendants or lariat for a co-ordinated look – check out the options in the Super Seconds Festival section as well as the H₅O main collection page

These unique steel earrings will be delivered in a grey linen effect box with Factory Floor Jewels branding, which makes them a perfect gift for anyone (including yourself!)

Factory Floor Jewels is a growing UK jewellery brand by independent design-maker Kate Stewart.  Each piece is meticulously handmade in her Liverpool studio and tells the story of her fascination with the engineering and marine history of the city.  This fascination stems from her relationship with her engineer father.

Inspired by the enduring strength and beauty of industrial materials and processes, each Factory Floor Jewels collection features an eclectic mix of materials, including silver, steel, brass, and copper, creating jewellery that is both captivating and versatile. Most of the designs begin with scrap or waste materials gathered from local engineering workshops.  FFJ final collections sometimes feature these repurposed materials and all silver used is recycled.

Kate creates pieces that have a timeless look, with clean lines and classic silhouettes that never go out of style.  Factory Floor Jewels pieces tell a story and are always conversation starters, designed to make you stand out from the crowd.  They also make perfect gifts for those who appreciate unique design and a touch of industrial flair.
